The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 67 Miss Xue’s pomp

Unknowingly, a lot of words had been said, and Xue Qingyin asked: "Does Your Highness have anything else to say?"

As she spoke, her toes touched the carriage door.

Apparently he was thinking of getting off the carriage.

"There will be an imperial decree coming down in a few days." King Xuan said lightly.

How many days from now?

Xue Qingyin moved for a moment, feeling a little confused.

Why did Liu's daughter and Qiao's daughter receive the imperial edict on the second day of the palace banquet?

It's because...

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Your Majesty doesn't like me to be His Highness's concubine?"

Prince Xuan said calmly: "My father hopes that Lu's daughter will become the royal concubine of Prince Xuan's palace."

Xue Qingyin was speechless.

She just said it.

That day Emperor Mingming specially called Lu's daughter out to ask questions, and it was obvious that he had chosen her.

Even the emperor's son cannot disobey the emperor's wishes easily, right?

She wrinkled her face slightly, held her chin and sighed softly: "I'm afraid it will be troublesome."

It was rare to see her looking worried, so King Xuan couldn't help but take a second look.

He said: "Just wait a few days."

Xue Qingyin tilted her head and looked at him.

Will it be resolved in a few days? So powerful?

Because the carriage stopped at the door of Xu's house for too long, no one got off the carriage for a long time.

The servant of the Xu family couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Is the cousin back?"

Xue Qingyin turned around and responded: "Yes."

The servant breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Cousin, what happened?"

"Go." King Xuan said to Xue Qingyin.

Xue Qingyin nodded, lifted the curtain and walked down.

When the servant saw her face, his heart finally fell to the ground.

"My cousin has gone without anyone, which really worries me." The servant said, with curiosity in his eyes, "It seems that a nobleman came to see my cousin just now. I wonder who that nobleman is?" ?”

Xue Qingyin said lazily: "Since you know he is a noble man, why do you ask so many questions?"

"Yes, the villain has overstepped his bounds." The smile on the servant's face became even brighter, thinking that the noble man must have a lot of background! The cousin girl is really capable!

Xue Qingyin returned to Xinyi Pavilion.

Mrs. Xue is still missing in Xinyi Pavilion, she must be still "reminiscing" with the Xu family.

She yawned lazily and leaned on the previous couch again.

Turning over, Xue Qingyin still had no real feeling. The conversation with King Xuan on the carriage was like a dream.

Hey, how could it be settled so easily and in just a few words?

"Big girl." Maid Zhishu's voice sounded.

Xue Qingyin almost fell off the couch because of her fright.

Zhishu put the plate in his hand on the table and whispered: "This is from the second room."

Xue Qingyin took a look and saw that what was on them were expensive fruits such as cherries and citrus. Yes, because of the difficulty in storage and the restrictions on their origin, these fruits are considered rare in today's Liang Dynasty.

If the family's financial resources are too small, they won't be able to afford it at all.

This also shows that the Xu family is really spending their time trying to please her.

"Eldest lady, should I... send someone to inform the eldest son about this matter?" Zhishu finally revealed her true purpose.

She was sent by the eldest son to be with the eldest girl.

When the eldest girl starts acting up, the eldest son is helpless. Therefore, she was really afraid of offending Xue Qingyin.

"Go." Xue Qingyin said.

"Huh?" Zhishu didn't expect her to respond so quickly, and couldn't react at all.

"Go." Xue Qingyin repeated lazily, "But don't leave today. Tomorrow, you go to the East Market first and look for a shop with the word 'Xun' on it. Lead the boss to Zhuangzi Go up and ask him to cook for Zhuangzi. After he quotes the price, you can come back and tell me. Or you can ask the elder brother to check it."

Anyway, if you don’t use it, you won’t use it.

Now that the account books, keys, and seals are all in her hands, using He Songning's smart brain to contribute to herself is pure prostitution.

Zhishu was stunned.

"Big girl...what did you say?" she asked in a daze.

Xue Qingyin frowned unhappily: "Do you want me to repeat it again?"

Zhishu came back to his senses: "No, no need. Listen to the eldest lady, I will go to Zhuangzi to meet the eldest son tomorrow."

Xue Qingyin responded "Yes" and leaned there to eat her cherry.

Zhishu hesitated for a moment, then squatted down at Xue Qingyin's feet and began to peel oranges for her so as not to dirty Xue Qingyin's hands.

Xue Qingyin thought to herself, look, how good it is.

He Songning paid for the hire, and she just enjoyed it.

Late at night, Mrs. Xue finally came back.

She looked a little tired, but her eyebrows were shining.

"Why don't I see you here for dinner at night? The servant said you were out?" Mrs. Xue asked her.

Xue Qingyin mumbled: "It's just some business matters, I went to take a look."

Who knows whether the imperial edict will be issued in a few days, but it is better not to let others know.

Mrs. Xue nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After the mother and daughter washed up, they rarely slept on the same bed.

"I never thought about taking you back to your parents' home. A married girl who lives in her parents' home will be stabbed in the back. The brothers and sisters-in-law at home will not be happy either. I didn't expect..." Mrs. Xue let out a long breath, "Come here. I have never felt so relaxed and happy here!”

"It's just..." Mrs. Xue's voice changed, "Aren't you afraid of using the name of the Duke's Palace like this?"

This time, Xue Qingyin answered honestly: "Mother, I am useful to the Duke's Mansion. In fact, the Duke's Mansion is eager for me to use their name. Only in this way can the relationship between us be tied more closely."

Mrs. Xue was stunned and remained silent for a long time.

Xue Qingyin turned over and saw a few tears on Mrs. Xue's face.

"Mother... why are you crying?"

"Qingyin has become very smart now, but mother... would rather be a powerful person who can protect you from worrying all your life and not have to know all kinds of human nature." Mrs. Xue choked up.

Xue Qingyin hugged her.

This is enough, it's enough.

The happiest thing for her after she crossed into the book was that she had the motherly love she had never received.

The next day, when she woke up, her personal maid Nong Xia combed her hair and said with a bitter face: "Mother Wang still combs it well."

Xue Qingyin didn't care much and went to the front hall.

When the rest of the Xu family heard that Madam Xue had returned to live, they hurried home, and only now were they truly gathered.

"My cousin is here." Someone shouted.

Gui hurried over: "Aunt's good Yinyin, you are also radiant today, uh." Gui's words of praise were stuck in an instant.

She looked at Xue Qingyin's loose bun today and was stunned.

Xue Qingyin didn't care about her expression. A gust of fragrant wind passed by and Xue Qingyin came to the center of the hall.

Under the guidance of Madam Xue, she greeted her eldest uncle, third uncle, and youngest uncle... In the end, Xue Qingyin didn't remember any of them.

"Qingyin, this is your eldest cousin, second cousin, third cousin..." Gui hurriedly called her over again.

Now Xue Qingyin was completely face-blind.

But if she walked on the street, she should be able to recognize them.

The men of the Xu family were all born thin, but the wives they married were mostly big and strong and good at giving birth.

Xue Qingyin's cousins ​​inherited their mother's advantages and grew up to be big and strong.

Xue Qingyin stood among them, and she was really delicate to the extreme.

The Xu family wanted to ask the younger generations to get closer to Xue Qingyin. After everyone served Xue Qingyin breakfast, they asked them to accompany their cousin around.

Xue Qingyin thought about it and did not refuse.

But when she walked to the door, she ran into someone who wanted to see her.

"Miss Xue!" The man shouted, and then smiled: "I am here to take Miss Xue to the Heron Garden to chat on the order of the Fourth Princess."

Xue Qingyin was in a trance.

Did the Fourth Princess still remember her? She thought that after several setbacks, the Fourth Princess would never want to see her again.

This person probably got the order from Concubine Wan again... But that's not right. Now that the dust has settled, Concubine Wan doesn't have to worry about her marrying into the Prince of Wei's Mansion.

Xue Qingyin stopped thinking about it.

Just go and see, won't you know?

She smiled: "Let's go."

The cousins ​​standing behind her were about to speak.

Xue Qingyin said: "You go too."

They were stunned for a moment, and then followed Xue Qingyin in a daze.

The fourth princess was at her leisure.

The Qiao family girl and the Liu family girl were sitting around.

These two were of high birth, and they were about to marry the King of Wei. And it happened that the fourth princess was raised by Concubine Wan. These two girls got close to the fourth princess.

The fourth princess immediately felt proud.

She wanted to ask Xue Qingyin to come and see the joke.

At this time, someone said: "Miss Xue is here."

So everyone turned their heads to look.

They saw Xue Qingyin walking in front.

There were many people behind her.

At a glance, it was crowded and imposing.

It looked like they were here to beat someone up.

The fourth princess was so angry that her nose was crooked.

She, a princess, didn't have such a show!
